Marco da história, atualmente ao abandono. Existe apenas uns metros da torre e o espaço envolvente é usado como estacionamento.

Área que até hoje em dia tem sido pouco respeitada, é como se fosse uma simples torre ali perto da povoação, não tem marco histórico ao pé que faça reconhecer aquele farol como algo importante, bom apenas para fotografia e mirar o mar e a paisagem em volta.
Area that until today has been little respected, it is as if it were a simple tower near the village, there is no historical landmark at the foot that makes that lighthouse recognized as something important, good only for photography and looking at the sea and the landscape in return.

Su construcción fue ordenada por orden del Tribunal del Tesoro Público del 8 de agosto de 1835 retrasándose el comienzo de las obras hasta 1855. El ingeniero Gaudencio Fontana, que estaba a cargo del Servicio de Faros de Portugal desde 1847, se encargó de las obras concluyeron en 1858. Tenía una torre de casi 18 metros de altura, una óptica de 2º orden y estaba alimentado con aceite y emitía una luz blanca fija. En 1902 le fue cambiada su óptica a una de 3.er orden y su característica también fue cambiada a grupos de 2 destellos de luz blanca. En 1916 se decidió la construcción de un nuevo edificio para alojar el faro algo más al norte del antiguo del que quedan algunas ruinas.
Its construction was ordered by order of the Public Treasury Court of August 8, 1835, delaying the start of the works until 1855. The engineer Gaudencio Fontana, who was in charge of the Lighthouse Service of Portugal since 1847, was in charge of the works concluded in 1858. It had a tower almost 18 meters high, a 2nd order optics and it was powered with oil and emitted a fixed white light. In 1902 its optics were changed to a 3rd order one and its characteristic was also changed to groups of 2 flashes of white light. In 1916 it was decided to build a new building to house the lighthouse a little further north of the old one, of which some ruins remain.

Adorei o farol, com a vista para a figueira e pena estar a degradar-se
I loved the lighthouse, with the view to the fig tree and it's a shame it's deteriorating
